A platform that automatically documents dangerous situations, preserves tamper-proof evidence, coordinates community witnesses, and connects people to the resources they need — because accountability requires a record, and that record needs to be protected.
AiWitness is not a single-purpose recording app. It is an integrated documentation platform that activates automatically and simultaneously begins recording, analyzing, coordinating witnesses, assessing the situation, and routing to the appropriate response — without the user having to manage multiple steps in a high-stress moment.
The platform does not take sides. It does not position any person or institution as the enemy. It builds the record that accountability requires — for law enforcement encounters, for civilian threats, for any dangerous situation where what actually happened matters and needs to be preserved. A well-documented encounter protects everyone who acted correctly and creates the foundation for accountability when someone did not.
The platform provides legal information and documentation tools. It does not provide legal advice. Attorney access is one available option — not a guarantee or a primary function. Every user is encouraged to consult a licensed attorney for their specific situation.
Designed for traffic stops, pedestrian stops, detentions, and searches. Monitors speech patterns for potential constitutional issues, delivers publicly available legal information during the encounter, and documents everything with synchronized timestamps. In distress situations, routes alerts to supervisory and oversight channels — not additional patrol units.
Designed for road rage, stalking, harassment, assault threats, and other dangerous civilian encounters. Automatically contacts emergency dispatch with real-time GPS coordinates, a live stream connection, and an automated incident summary. Designed to eliminate the barriers to getting help in a threatening moment — no call to make, no words to find.
Accountability without evidence is opinion. Every existing tool addresses one aspect of documentation — but none function as an integrated system that works automatically when someone is under stress and cannot manage multiple devices and steps simultaneously.

The gap is not a single missing feature. It is the absence of an integrated system that creates a complete, tamper-proof record automatically — from the moment a situation begins, without requiring the person in it to manage technology while managing their safety. Accountability has always required evidence. AiWitness is the infrastructure that makes that evidence possible.
AiWitness includes a civil rights education hub covering all 50 states — state-specific recording laws, stop-and-identify statutes, use-of-force standards, and civilian oversight board information. Situation-specific guides for traffic stops, arrests, home searches, protests, workplace situations, and housing. Landmark Supreme Court and federal cases explained in plain English.
An AI-powered rights assistant answers rights questions in plain language, with state-specific context, in both English and Spanish. All information provided is for educational purposes and does not constitute legal advice.
The goal is to make this information accessible before an encounter happens — not just during one.
Anyone in a law enforcement encounter or civilian threat situation who needs to document what is happening and preserve the record.
People who want to provide independent corroboration for someone in a difficult situation — adding their recordings and verified statements to the evidence record.
Attorneys who want access to structured, timestamped evidence records and the option to receive real-time alerts when clients are in documented situations.
Organizations that want to connect with potential clients and access structured evidence records for civil rights litigation.
Academic institutions and advocacy organizations that use anonymized, aggregated incident data to study patterns and support systemic reform efforts.
Civilian oversight boards and government agencies that benefit from structured, documented incident data submitted through established channels.
Every completed AiWitness encounter, with user consent, contributes anonymized data to a real-time incident map — showing where situations are concentrated, what patterns repeat, and how frequency changes over time. All personally identifying information is removed before contribution. Users can opt out at any time.
This aggregated data has value beyond the individual case. It gives oversight bodies a factual foundation for policy decisions. It gives researchers the data they need to understand systemic patterns. It gives communities the evidence base to advocate for change — not based on perception, but on documented reality.
Accountability at the individual level. Accountability at the systemic level. The same record serves both.
The most significant challenge in civil rights litigation is evidence quality. By the time a client reaches an attorney, the encounter is over, memories have faded, footage may be degraded or missing, and the documented record — if one exists at all — is typically a single phone video with no corroboration, no transcript, and no chain of custody documentation.
AiWitness changes what arrives in your inbox. Attorneys in the network receive structured evidence packages that include synchronized multi-source recordings, complete real-time transcripts, officer identification data, a full severity classification history, corroborating witness recordings with verified timestamps, and a cryptographic hash recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain at the time of capture. The chain of custody is established from the moment of activation — not reconstructed afterward.
Every case that reaches you through the network arrives with structured documentation already prepared. You are not starting from a verbal account — you are reviewing an assembled record.
When a serious escalation occurs, network attorneys receive an alert with live stream access and a preliminary situation summary. You can engage while the encounter is still active — not days later.
As the platform grows, the attorney network receives a consistent stream of documented civil rights matters. Subscription access means you are positioned for every relevant case in your jurisdiction.
Attorney engagement is through subscription access to the escalation network. Per-case flat-rate structures are also available. All fee arrangements are designed for compliance with ABA Model Rules across all jurisdictions. AiWitness does not share in legal fees or settlements.
